Position description

The Department of Technology Management at University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) invites applications for an Assistant (tenure-track) or Associate (with tenure) Teaching Professor position starting July 1, 2025 or later. In the UC System, Teaching Professor is an Academic Senate, tenure track position. Teaching Professors are evaluated primarily for teaching excellence and curriculum development, with expectations for service and professional activity. The normal course load expected for Teaching Professors is two courses per quarter (six courses a year) at the undergraduate and/or graduate level.

We seek applicants who are interested in teaching-focused careers. We are particularly interested in candidates with experience creating and teaching courses focused on the development, commercialization, and implementation of new technology, including, for example: Technology Strategy, Technology Entrepreneurship, Managing Innovation, Digital Transformation, and Digital Marketing, and Data Analytics. Successful applicants will contribute to the exciting intellectual environment within the Department of Technology Management and contribute meaningfully to its strategic initiatives and programmatic activities.

The selected candidate is expected to play a key role in the growth of the department and to participate in departmental service appropriate for their rank. The University is especially interested in candidates who can contribute to the diversity and excellence of the academic community through research, teaching and service as appropriate to the position.

The Department of Technology Management resides in UCSB’s highly ranked College of Engineering, where it offers a successful professional master’s degree, a Ph.D. program, and undergraduate and graduate certificates. Core faculty in the Department of Technology Management include: Matthew Beane, Christine Beckman, Sukhun Kang, Paul Leonardi, Nelson Phillips, Renee Rottner, Jessica Santana, and Mary Tripsas; all of whose research and teaching reflect the unit’s intentional interdisciplinary character.

In 2024-25, a wide array of UC Santa Barbara departments are partnering with the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion to launch a special faculty recruitment initiative named after Benjamin Banneker, the 18th-century African American mathematician, astronomer, anti-racist, engineer, ecologist, and peace advocate. Funded by an Advancing Faculty Diversity grant from the UC Office of the President, with the goal of diversifying faculty, research, and curriculum in STEM (and related) fields, the Banneker Initiative aims to recruit scholars, scientists, and engineers whose disciplinary and interdisciplinary work would take place within the community of interests exemplified by Banneker’s intellectual, ethical, and social commitments as an African American scientist. Applicants may be eligible to be fellows in the Benjamin Banneker Initiative. The community of Banneker Fellows will receive funding for cohort building and professional development activities, including enrollment in the National Center for Faculty Development and Diversity Faculty Success Program, proposal writing training, and seed grants.
